The Fault in Our Stars
Troye Sivan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of a simple human emotion weighs me down
More than the tank ever did
The pain
It's determined and demanding
To ache, but I'm okay
I don't wanna lose control
I just wanna see the stars with you
And I don't wanna say goodbye
Someone tell me why
I just wanna see see the stars with you
You lost
A part of your existence in the war
Against yourself
Oh, the lights,
They light up in lights of sadness
Telling you, it's time to go
And I don't wanna let this go
I don't wanna lose control
I just wanna see the stars with you
And I don't wanna say goodbye
Someone tell me why
I just wanna see the stars with you
Don't give it up just yet stay grand for
One more minute
Don't give it up just yet stay grand
Oh don't give it up just yet stay grand for
One more minute
Don't give it up just yet stay grand
Oh don't give it up just yet stay grand for
One more minute
Don't give it up just yet stay grand
And I don't wanna let this go
I don't wanna lose control
I just wanna see the stars with you
And I don't wanna say goodbye
Someone tell me why
I just wanna see the stars with you
With you
In Troye Sivan's song The Fault in Our Stars, he explores the weight of human emotions and the pain that can come with it. He compares it to the weight of a tank, inferring that emotions can be even more heavy to carry. Despite the pain and weight, he meets the struggle with acceptance, saying that the pain is determined and demanding but that he is okay. The chorus of the song repeats the desire to see the stars with someone, indicating that there is hope and beauty in something outside of oneself.
The second verse shifts the focus onto another person, who has lost a part of themselves in a personal war. The lights around them are sad and telling them that it's time to let go, but the singer urges them to stay grand for just one more minute. This echoes the earlier sentiment of finding hope and meaning outside of oneself. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the desire to hold onto someone and experience the beauty of life together.

The weight of a simple human emotion
weighs me down, more than the tank ever did.
The pain, it's determined and demanding to ache.
But I'm okay...
And I don't want to let this go,
I don't want to lose control,
I just want to see the stars with you.
And I don't wanna say goodbye,
someone tell me why,
I just want to see the stars with you.
You lost, a part of your existence in the war,
against yourself.
Oh, the lights, the light up in lights of sadness, telling you,
it's time to go.
And I don't want to let this go,
I don't want to lose control,
I just want to see the stars with you.
And I don't wanna say goodbye,
someone tell me why,
I just want to see the stars with you.
Don't give it up just yet,
stay grand for one mor minute,
don't give it up just yet stay grand. (3x)
And I don't want to let this go,
I don't want to lose control,
I just want to see the stars with you.
And I don't wanna say goodbye,
someone tell me why,
I just want to see the stars with you....
With you.

I sang this at my Mom's funeral 2 year ago now. It feels like it was yesterday. My mom struggled with addiction issues for years before finally succumbing to a heart disease at the age of 40. Way too soon. I got to meet my mom at the age of 18, and I only had 5 years. I sang this song and it let out all the feelings and allowed me to stay strong and be there for my family who needed me during this time. Troye, thank you for your voice and your talent that allowed me to overcome the worst tragedy of my life.
@Catallano1981
My condolences, Dylan. Stay strong!
